History of the property

Formerly a hunting ranch, the property was purchased in 2005 for the purpose of becoming a spiritual direction and formation center.

The hunting cabin was renovated to become a residence for the Director of St. Peter upon the Water. The Administration Building was completed in August, 2007. Our first quiet house duplex, named Mary Anne’s Cottage in memory of Mary Anne Collins, was completed April, 2009. St. John Vianney House, also completed in April, 2009, was a gift to our center.

All purchases and improvements have been made possible through the generosity of many people, but especially through the kindness of our founding benefactor, Beverly Pevehouse.
